Hello, my name is Rishab Mehta and I am from Sharon, MA. I am currently a rising sophomore, and have been on this world for 15 years. I have participated in a few science fairs, and the Science Olympiad team in my school. Furthermore, I have long had a great interest in robotics, and am part of the team in my town. These interests in engineering and science are what led me to the field of synthetic biology. That in turn is what led me to this course in the Boston Leadership Institute. Along with my academic interests, I play tennis, and I love to travel and try out new things. In the past year alone I have gone camping in Norway, which was a wonderful experience, and have been on a version of a road trip in California.
